The Brief pointed out that a major reduction in efficiency will have far-reaching consequences. Ontario farmers would become non-competitive, which would lead to thousands of lost jobs and higher consumer prices. The OFA used several examples to illustrate how services were suffering as a result of last year's cut-backs. A further decline is expected in the coming year due to the cuts announced in the recent budget. T he Brief urged the government to reverse this *Plowing *Cultivation *Spray Incorporation *Crop Spraying •Subsoiling *Grain Seeding trend before the effects become even more serious. In particular, the OFA recommended that OMAF increase its tile drainage loan program from $18 million to $25 million a year. Tile drainage is one of the easiest ways to improve farm efficiency, while the cost to the government is minimal-a small subsidy on the interest. They pointed out that Ontario's competitors are increasing their programs The OFA was critical of the government's approach to farm machinery problems. The OFA has asked repeatedly for legislated minimum warranties and a stronger Farm Mac hinery Board with investigative, arbitratton and licencing powers. Recently announced government programs, they said, fall far short of dealing with the problem. The OFA also recommended a new Agriculture Resource Protection Program. It would assist farmers with the capital cost of new equipment for environmental maintenance, pollution abatement, storage requirements and market expansion. Over ten years, the program would cover one-third of the capital cost, up to a maximum of $10,000.
